And those ISOers of whom you speak do not even hold a grudge that this is the same Brit SWP which some years back summarily expelled the ISO from their international tendency and then engineered a split within the organization of their former American co-thinkers? Even within the sectarian blinkered view of the world, this is bizarre. SR

And, unbelievably, they took the stance that I was the abusive one! The
inability of ISO'ers to see themselves as doing anything wrong is to be
expected. When you are ideological soul-mates with people who are also
your best buddies you go out to have pizza and beer with, naturally you
tend to see the world through the same lens. I know from my experience
in the American SWP that "being part of the group" is overpowering. Of
course, this is what led to the British SWP's crisis just as surely as
it will lead to some crisis in the ISO down the road--as surely as night
follows day.
